In your last picture it looks like the fitting of the rod to the solenoid is a little insecure, is it just the picture? I think id be tempted to add locktite on those screws to prevent vibration, or could you not simply hook the rod into the hope ontop of the new solenoid? Looks a clever mod...

Hi all Since I found out my cams were shot I've been in limbo deciding if I should fix, sell or break my A4 however I have decided that its body is immaculate and I love the car so set out about having it repaired. ive found an AKN engine from a 02' Passat with very low miles that's had it's...

Im pretty sure the replica's would be mutli-fit and fit regardless of the cars offset, not sure what offset the car is however sorry, somebody will probably be along shortly to offer a hand.

The instrument page of VCDS will show you a brake error, You will need to check the ABS ECU if i remember rightly.

I think thats only on the 2.5, the 1.9 only has the single Intercooler if i remember rightly, the 2.5 has Twin Intercoolers (One either side). Which i have also been told is 250-300bhp capable but i really fail to see how even non forward facing wing mounted plastic ended twin intercoolers can...

Haha I wish I could afford it, wanna buy an absolutely mint 2.5 tdi? Lol

Its not so much the reliability, The B7 looks better, And i'd be going for the early 1.9 TDI or 2.0 TDI Version for extreme cheapness to fix in comparison to the V6's I won't own another one now and im way past the point of being able to afford to fix this one.

I think I'm going to be trading it in on a B7 now, I've noticed there are a few mid rices b7's appeared for under £4k for around 140k i can't warrant fixing the b6 when I know if I part exchange it and add the price of fixing it I can have the model I wanted in the first place.

Surprised somebody else hasnt mentioned it yet but check your services have been done ontime and hope they used the correct oils. Just bought mine thinking it was a minter but yesterday found this...

Hi All, As some of you may have already seen i recently found out my camshafts have self destructed on my 2.5 TDI, I refuse to shell out £1200-£1500 to repair them so am looking at alternatives. My engine is the 2.5 TDI Quattro 6 Speed Manual Sport (180BHP) Version Code: AKE Now from what i...

I really don't have the money to part exchange it at the moment, in the middle of paying for a wedding and other things, if I was to repair it I would be spending mega mega money that I don't have. as for breaking it, I used to be an mg/rover breaker so could quite easily manage tearing it down...

Agr thats what i was afraid of hearing :( Looks like this could well be the end for this one :( it's not worth me throwing another grand at it, knowing my luck the DMF or fuel pump will go kaput next, What kind of income can be had breaking one of these things up?

Hopefully he shows up hes been a rock helping me out so far. And yea, Mid 40's lol thinks everything can be fixed with the trusty welder, self tapping screws or nails, 6 inch long ones! the thought of a car having a computer just blows his mind into overdrive, he still cant work out how the car...

I couldn't bring myself to break it up, its in such good shape and all in £3500 for a MINT car i think will be worth it, its just getting ahold of the £1000 to get the work done, OR i find someone with used shafts for sale and do it on the cheap. Dad suggested getting the welder out and...

I would be looking to just dump the whole lot and do a coolant replacement at the same time, it makes sense to do it at the same time, im pretty sure that the 1.9 TDi uses OAT Antifreeze.

That lobe is the worst of them, the rest are like the one to the left of it, with a nice smooth arch worn into them, that one looks like its had something wedged under it and scored it to hell, not sure what's caused it without stripping it down to be honest.

Hi all, Since buying my 2.5 TDi Quattro sport 180 I've noticed a distinct lack of power, when I got the car it felt great but slowly but surely I started feeling like it just wasn't a 180bhp, so I remapped it first to 208, then to 220bhp (generic, proven maps), the car has been idling abit rough...

Search whitecoupeturbo on photobucket :)

Hi your a fair drive from me, I am in the Midlands (Telford). I've also had lots of Rover Tomcat's, I currently own a very very rare White 220 Coupe Turbo thats in the process of a full restoration.

Hi Tomcat (is that a reference to Rover Tomcat's by any chance?) If your not too far from me i have a few generic 2.5 Maps i've picked up recently i could throw on there for you if your not looking to spend mega money on a full on rolling road remap.
